Hi,

I've been reading longecity for over a year, and I've finally made an account. I've had brain fog for nearly 2 years now, and I have tried nearly everything to cure it. During this whole time i have had bad depression and anxiety as well. I have had many blood tests that all have come back fine (thyroid, metabolic, anemia, and even a stress test). I now feel it is up to me to find the cure, rather than a doctor.

Notes
-My eyes are very sensitive to light. It seems to go away when i'm outside on a bright day.
-I get very stressed and my brain shuts down with lots of things going on around me.
-I seem to become more anxious after eating things like eggs. I also found soy protein isolate, makes the brain fog and depression extremely intense.
-Calcium supplements seem to help with the anxiousness, but is not a cure.
-Fish oils seem to cure my brain fog as well; however, I get real bad anxiety on them.

Over the 2 years, I have found only one supplement that takes away the "brain fog" quickly, and that is magnesium taurate. The reason why I'm not cured, and the reason i'm posting here , is because it produces side effects. Several hours after taking several 100 mgs of it my brain fog dramatically goes away; however, I become depressed and jittery. I can't keep taking it because of this. Also, after several days i become extremely down and apathetic.

Does anyone here have a better understanding of magnesium (specifically magnesium taurate)? I've tried taurate and different kinds of magnesiums separately, and only magnesium taurate works for me. I feel if i can better understand what it's doing to my body, maybe I can cure myself.

Thanks!
Redline

Magnesium taurate is molecule containing Mg and Taurine, so look for effects of taurine

For your anxiety symptoms, the supplements and medications detailed on this thread may work wonders:

Completely eliminated my severe anxiety symptoms with three supplements!

In particular, many people say that the N-acetyl-glucosamine supplements is very effective for anxiety. I had severe anxiety bordering on psychosis for several years (extreme anxiety is known to precipitate some psychosis), but pretty much eliminated all my anxiety using the supplements listed on the above thread.
